someone left a treat bag full of candy on my door--I have no idea who, so I'm afraid to eat it!

You don't reserve it for a specific day... love should be celebrated everyday...

Money's easy come easy go around here. I gave my mom a heart shaped box with what appeared to be candy were really candles. I have the older lady I work with a single rose. She is near retirement and her knees are weak. I guess I wanted her to feel 'loved' because she is. I had to work yesterday so a few days ago I went over to my partners house and played a conversation card game while he was still in bed. HE didn't seem to mind so much I woke him up. I brought him a card and some 'love' lottery tickets to hand out to people he meets throughout the week. It was kind of a ' playing cupid thing' I also gave him a 'spin the bottle' pin so if he was feeling lucky some one might want to give it a spin while he was wearing it. These were just fun silly things. Monday we went out to lunch. I had both jobs off so it was a doubly beautiful day for that. It was sunny so we took a drive to a small town and stopped at an antique mall and a used book store. I bought myself a bronze crane and two new books to read. Oh, before all that he presented me with a snow globe heart and two cupcakes from starbucks. Last night after work I called him over for banana splits. Then he almost talked my son and I into going to see the Vagina Monolouges but it was a school night. The 10:00 showing would just be too long since it ran for 90 min so we just opted for buying it on DVD one day. After banana spilts he took my son and I to this small german cafe which sells cake slices. These slices are more cake than two people can eat. It is a very famous little place and all the college kids were in there on their valentine dates. We felt like toads among the flowers. Anyway. I had the best strawberry lemonade I'd ever had. That's it! oh and my Canada friend sent me a valentine. I only sent him an ecard. I feel bad about that. |

You are gonna' get dressed-up canned and frozen food at one-and-a-half to twice what a real chef's meal will cost there on a normal day, while being waited on by an amature...just so Hallmark can sell a card. "I love ya' hun", I don't think so. I know this because I quit after refusing to do this and told every restaurant that I gave my resume' to that I would not. Florists do the same thing on a much worse scale. Last edited by rkzenrage; 02-15-2007 at 10:34 AM. |

I'm eating a salad I made fresh myself...iceberg lettuce, celery, snow peas, a bit of cottage cheese (no dressing.) But the nightly news keeps spouting off about the Green Death of e coli. That which is supposed to be healthy now instills fear!
I better go have a cig and some beers. :p

No, but one might if one was taken to a restaurant which was paying more attention to the v-day profit potential than to the quality of food and service.

I can understand your cynicism, however I think it's misplaced as far as most people are concerned. Just because you make one special day during the year doesn't mean couples don't have other special days too.

I thought I'd surprise my boyfriend by traveling to his house earlier than expected (half an hour before he'd come home from work) so I could do some groceries and surprise him with a lovely dinner.
Unfortunately, my train had a 20-minute delay. I rushed to the supermarket, rushed back home, but then I saw that the train had just arrived and the boyfriend was walking further down the street. I wouldn't be able to catch up with him, so I called him and 'chatted' a bit with him about how his day was - that gave me enough time to reach his front door and make sure he had gone inside. Then I went ahead and casually asked him, "do me a favour will you? Open the door." The surprise was slightly ruined by the public transport, but luckily he was still surprised to find me at his door. Dinner was lovely, and the sex was great.

We don't want you to describe the dinner in detail.

So I was in Finland. They celebrate ystävänpäivä, friends-day. So you send cards to your friends and family. My friend's sister came home with a paper heart on which her friends all signed. I got a present from my friend's mother (a cork with a heart on top). And from my girlfriend a mind teaser shaped as a heart.
When she was back from work we went skiing. When we were back her mother had already cooked but forgotten to head up the sauna. So we ate at her's with her sister and mother turning around (not very romantic). Afterwards to the sauna, on my own (not very romatic too, but we are not yet that close). Finally we went out (she just came and asked : "Are you too tired or shall we go to some place?") So we went to the town in a superb club and danced all night. Was wonderful
